BIOS DUE – ALL WEBSITE BIOS ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, AUGUST 24TH. OTHERWISE I’LL CREATE ONE FOR YOU.
See you by 6:15pm on Sunday, August 27th, for our weekly 6:30-9pm rehearsal at Denver Percussion. We will play through the Circle of 4th’s and pg. 6 of our improv book. We may also move ahead to pg. 8. Our main goal for Sunday is to plan out the September 17th Denver Jazz Festival set. We will also audition for vocals and possibly reduce our set list.
NYC TRIP PAYMENT #1 – The NYC Trip is now set for Monday, July 16th through Sunday, July 22nd. We will plan on collecting 11 – $275 monthly trip payments due on the last day of each month, or soon thereafter. That will cover the costs of both the Sacramento Music Festival Trip over Memorial Day Weekend, and the July 16th through 22nd NYC Trip. You can use your account to reduce the monthly trip payments. Before each monthly due date, I will send you an account update in case you want to use those funds to go towards that particular monthly payment.
TRIP PAYMENT DUE DATES (If you’re turning a check in at our Sunday rehearsal): 1) 9/3, 2) 10/1, 3) 10/29, 4) 11/26, 5) 1/7, 6) 2/4, 7) 3/4, 8) 4/1, 9) 4/29, 10) 6/3, and 11) 7/1 – If you’re mailing the payments in, or paying via Paypal or automatic bank payment plan, please plan on making payments by the end of each month, if possible. (Mail to: 6388 S. Dexter St, Centennial, CO 80121-3266).
